437 Match ended
Milan's celebrations were over and the players were back in their own half, while the boos from the stands were still loud – and the City fans didn't shut up at the gestures of the Milan players. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is also very normal, it is never a gesture that can silence the opponent, but a goal.
Coming from two goals down has Manchester City in a hurry, how could they possibly lose on their own home turf?
So after the restart, the City players were noticeably bigger and more aggressive on the pitch.
Especially Chen Long, who was "taken care of" by the opponent in all aspects, as long as he took the ball, the Manchester City players would rush up and grab the ball with aggressive movements, if Chen Long didn't want to be injured, he had better obediently give up possession.
But Chen Long didn't do that.
When the City player's leg swept towards him, he had just pushed the ball away and jumped up, but it was still half a step too late and the City player's leg rubbed against his toes.
Chen Long, who was in the air, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded as a result, and the Manchester City player was fouled!
The Manchester City player didn't see it that way, he appealed to the referee, signaling that Chen Long was a fake fall, because he felt that his strength should not make Chen Long fall so hard, and Chen Long's fall was suspected of performance.
"There's nothing to complain about, is it?" Peta said. "Looking at the slow motion, the Manchester City player's foot kicked Chen Long's toe solidly. It's also Chen Long's cleverness, he jumped up in advance to dodge the action, if he didn't jump, I am afraid that this kick would be directly kicked on his calf bone, and then Chen Long's calf would be considered lucky if it didn't fracture! ”
Mark Laurenson, the British commentator, also thinks that the Manchester City players are going with the purpose of venting their emotions, which is not very wise: "Don't argue with the referee, be careful to say too much and provoke the referee to give you another card, if I were a Manchester City player, I would have shown favor to Chen Long right now......"
In the end, referee Kralovic did not give the Manchester City player a card, but gave him a verbal warning.
This penalty caused Li Yang's dissatisfaction: "At least you should get a yellow card, right?" But it turned out nothing...... Even if it is a Premier League team, such physical contact must be a very bad foul! Don't say that Chen Long faked a fall or something, if Chen Long didn't hide, I'm afraid that he would suffer even worse this time! ”
Fake falls are hated by almost everyone because this kind of deception is against sportsmanship and is a very dirty tactic. Therefore, the media will never say that fake falls are a good thing, and if a player is labeled as "loving fake falls", many things will become more unfavorable to him.
But in Chen Long's case, it seems unfair to criticize him for faking a fall.
He is not a fake fall of subjective will, although it seems that the fall is a bit exaggerated, he just wants to dodge but does not dodge, and according to Newton's second law, once he falls, he will naturally look a little exaggerated......
The foul did not allow the Manchester City player to receive a yellow card, and the referee Krárowitz showed mercy at the critical moment, only verbally warning him. But this did not make the Manchester City players have any scruples, he still went his own way, and even decided that Chen Long was a despicable and shameless fake wrestler, so in the next game, he became even more aggressive to Chen Long.
Just three minutes later, in the scramble with Chen Long, he raised his arm, and his elbow poked Chen Long in the face.
When Chen Long covered his face and fell to the ground, the referee Krarowitz's whistle sounded again.
"I should have given the cards this time!" Peta shouted.
"It's an elbow strike!" Li Yang was also quite dissatisfied.
"The Man City player, Kevin De Bruyne...... He's going to be careful! Mark Laurenson was also tactfully criticized. Ever since he discovered Chen Long's talent, his ass has been completely crooked - although he is a British commentator, he is resolutely on Chen Long's side when it comes to Chen Long.
Because he was impressed by Chen Long's talent, he believes that the entire football world should protect Chen Long as it did to protect Messi and Ronaldo, and if a genius like Chen Long falls because of injury, it will be a great loss for the entire world football.
Chen Long covered his face and fell to the ground, which attracted the anger of the Milan players, who quickly rushed up to surround De Bruyne, who raised his hands to show his innocence.
He explained to the Milan players who surrounded him and denounced him: "...... I didn't mean to, I really wasn't, I just habitually spread my arms, I didn't want to hit him......"
The City fans in the stands booed loudly, not for De Bruyne, of course, but for Chen, who thought that Chen Long was faking a fall - anyway, if Chen Long fell to the ground in physical contact with a Manchester City player, it must have been Chen Long's fake fall.
That's the simple logic of the fans.
However, the referee saw it clearly and he ran up and gave De Bruyne a yellow card.
As soon as the yellow card was revealed, the boos over the Etihad Stadium were even louder, with City fans believing the referee's decision was unfair.
It's not just Manchester City fans who think the penalty is unfair, but also Milan fans.
Peta said: "Actually, De Bruyne's foul should be given a red card directly, which is not too much!" ”
Li Yang was also disappointed: "It turned out to be just a yellow card? If such fouls are all yellow cards, do you have to break Chen Long's leg to give a red card? ”
Amid the arguments and boos, Sanchez pulled Zhou Yi up from the ground and asked him with concern, "How is it?" ”
"It's fine." Chen Long took away the hand covering half of his cheek, and could see that near his cheekbones, there was a red spot, which was the mark left by De Bruyne's elbow after close contact with Zhou Yi's face.
Some of the players were bleeding from the elbow and looked very scary, but Chen Long only left a red spot on his face, which can really be barely regarded as "fine". But this is not De Bruyne's elbow. It's because when his elbow was about to poke over, Long Chen subconsciously tilted his head to the side, which just made De Bruyne's elbow rub against his cheekbone, if he didn't dodge, De Bruyne would definitely hit his temple or the corner of his eye firmly, so maybe half of his face was stained red with blood......
It doesn't look like he's hurt seriously, but the action of falling to the ground is scary, can you say that Chen Long faked a fall?
Except for Manchester City supporters, I am afraid that no one will think that Chen Long is a fake fall.
…………
Jose Mourinho saw some signs of a runaway game off the pitch, with the City players looking like bulls in a desperate loss, looking at the Milan players in blue and black shirts as red cloths.
Especially Chen Long, in just six minutes, has been violated by Manchester City players three times and fell to the ground.
Although he alone has left three Manchester City players with yellow cards, he is himself in danger.
Thinking of this, Mourinho decided to replace Chen Long.
Although there are fifteen minutes to go before the end of the game, replacing Chen Long could put a lot of pressure on Milan's midfield and backline, but Mourinho would rather take that risk than allow Chen Long to get injured in the game.
Now Milan can leave anyone, but you can't leave Chen Long.
So in the two-minute dead ball, he decisively replaced Chen Long with Ganso.
When Chen Long found out that he had been substituted, he limped to the sidelines. It was a move that made many people worry - he must have been injured in the previous game.
A Manchester City player ran up and asked Chen Long not to delay time, Chen Long simply stopped and explained to him very seriously that his ankle was a little painful and he couldn't walk fast, and if he was willing to carry himself down, he wouldn't mind.
The other party will certainly not agree to such a request - dragging him down is almost ......
Other Manchester City players protested to the referee about Chen's alleged delay in the game.
So the referee Kralovitz came to communicate with Chen Long again.
Chen Long had just limped two steps, and when he saw the referee running up, he stopped again......
Boos erupted in the stands – and City fans were convinced that he must have been deliberately delaying the game.
Chen Long was not in a hurry, his expression was calm and calm despite the boos from the sky. Even if he gets a yellow card for delaying, it doesn't matter to him, and he hasn't received a yellow card in the Champions League this season anyway.
The referee, Královitz, ran up, and Chen Long explained to him that his feet hurt and he couldn't run.
Just look at the color of Chen Long's jersey and the scratches on his arms and legs to see that he wasn't lying.
So Krarowitz accepted his explanation, allowing him to use his walk, and at the same time turned around and told the disgruntled Manchester City players that Chen Long was indeed unable to move.
No matter how unhappy the Manchester City players were, and no matter how heartbreaking the boos of those Manchester City fans in the stands, Chen Long limped like a lonely but stubborn walker, slowly walking to the sidelines. The distance of less than twenty meters was as long as a century under his feet.
The thought that he was so dragged with his injured leg to assist his teammates in two goals and helped the team to take a two-goal lead has to be awe-inspiring.
But many people frowned, worried about Chen Long's next game.
Gansuo, who was waiting for Chen Long to come down on the sidelines, leaned into his ear and asked in his ear when he high-fived Chen Long, "How is the injury?" ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Long smiled slightly and said in his ear, "I pretended." ”
Ganso, who had already run out, stumbled and almost fell, he turned his head and saw Chen Long striding towards the same anxious head coach Mourinho, that steady pace, how could there be the slightest shadow of limping?
At this moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, Ganso felt that the boos over the Etihad Stadium seemed to suddenly increase a little......
After Chen Long finally walked down, Mourinho was already impatient, and while holding Chen Long's hand, he asked eagerly: "How is it?" Foot? ”
Long Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, boss."
"Is it really okay, you don't count, Chen. I don't count. It's up to the 'doctor' to have the final say. Mourinho said with a straight face.
He called the team doctor and asked him to do an examination on Chen Long.
………
Niang, who was not selected for the squad and could only sit at home and watch the game on the TV, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Long striding towards Mourinho.
"I knew he loved acting! He must have done this on purpose to anger those Manchester City fans, ha! ”
After Lukaku left, Niang and Chen Long spent more time together on the field, so, more or less, he still knows something about Chen Long.
Of course, in Niang's view, there is nothing wrong with Chen Long's approach, after all, football results are sometimes ironclad.........
Not long after, the TV broadcast gave Chen Long a shot.
Having been substituted, he sat in a chair with his left leg stretched out and resting on a box, while a bag of ice was clearly wrapped around his ankle.
"Long Chen's ankle is being applied ice and looks like it's still injured...... Peta said.
Li Yang was even more excited: "Now it seems that the two steps after Chen Long got off the field are probably pretended, just to reassure the coach, but how can he rest assured?" We have a statistic here, Chen Long is the player who has been violated the most on the court by the two teams, as many as thirteen times, and it is no wonder that his foot is not injured under so many violations! The only thing to pray for now is not to get too injured, after all, a healthy Chen Long is very important for Milan......"
……………
After Chen Long's departure, Manchester City rallied with all their strength and launched a fierce attack on the Milan goal, hoping to equalise for the remainder of the game.
Now it seems that victory is very slim, but if you can, it is not bad to be able to draw with Milan, and it is better to get a point than not at all.
In the 90th minute, City finally had a great chance when Oqiao was punished for a foul in the box, and City were awarded a penalty.
Gabriel Jesus eventually converted the spot-kick into the Stegen goal to pull one back for City.
With five minutes left and one goal down, City suddenly saw hope.
In the following stoppage time, Milan retreated across the board and faced the indiscriminate bombardment of Manchester City. Even Gross, the striker, had to foul the opponent in defence, resulting in a yellow card for himself.
The good news, though, is that Milan still won Manchester City on the road.
After two rounds of the group stage, they and Real Madrid have also won two games, but are temporarily second because they have scored fewer goals than Real Madrid.
Manchester City and Ajax are in third and fourth place.
After the game, Chen Long was stopped by reporters in the mixed zone and answered a number of sensitive questions.
When asked if he was suspected of pretending to be injured when he left the game, Chen Long did not speak, but raised his left foot, which was still wrapped in an ice pack and could only wear slippers, to reporters.
Asked by a reporter what he thought of the booing from the City fans, he said: "I think there must be some misunderstanding, it's my first time at the Etihad Stadium and I've never played against Manchester City before, so there should be no grudge between us. As for why you boo me? You should ask them, not me, who is also confused! ”
He spread his hands.
"They must have thought that pre-game move you made was a provocation." A reporter added for Chen Long.
Chen Long shook his head: "If it's really provocative, I will draw a middle finger on the football instead of a smiley face." I'm sure no one on this planet would take a smile as a provocation, right? ”
"But you're doing something unusual......"
"What's so unusual about this? I've explained why I did it before, I don't think there's any need to repeat it, it's pointless to dwell on my move and it won't allow City to win this game. Long Chen shook his head and said.
Some Chinese reporters were more concerned about Chen Long's injury, to which Chen Long smiled: "It's not a big problem, the ice is to be on the safe side to avoid the situation from getting worse." But "
Italian journalists were concerned about the club's game, and they asked Chen Long that Milan had won two in a row in the Group of Death, with the same six points as Real Madrid. Does this mean that the group of death is not worthy of the name, in fact, in the end Milan and Real Madrid joined hands to qualify.
Chen Long disagreed: "I think so, there are six games in the group stage, and now only a third of them have been played, and there are still two-thirds of the games that have not been played, everything is possible." Although Ajax is now in the last place, if you underestimate them, you will also suffer......"
He then finished the interview and limped back to the locker room.
At this moment, no one would have thought that what he just said would become a prophecy on the next match day.
………
In his post-match press conference, Jose Mourinho criticised the City players for their rude treatment of Chen Long during the game, and he also tactfully criticized the referee for not giving Chen Long more protection. He also talked about Chen Long's injury: "...... I don't know if he'll miss the game next day, it's up to the team doctor to make the decision, not me. If the team doctor says he can't play, then I won't let him play, and if the team doctor says he's okay, I'll let him play, it's simple. ”
When it was Sampaoli's turn, he expressed regret at the home defeat to Milan, but said nothing about Chen's injury and his players' rudeness.
In fact, there is nothing to mention, admitting that his player is too big, it is a slap in the face.
A reporter asked Sampaoli if Manchester City's impatience in this game was due to a misjudgment of the situation and opponents.
Sampaoli denied this: "We have a lot of respect for our opponents, Milan is a strong team, we can't take the enemy lightly. ”
But the day after the game, the local media in Manchester published an article that slapped Sampaoli in the face, thinking that Manchester City could see from the pre-match preparation that the players' mentality was not right, so they would be so easily provoked by Chen Long.
“…… Perhaps it was the 3-2 defeat away to Real Madrid in the first group stage that gave Manchester City more illusions and ideas that made them feel that they were strong enough to break through in the group of death. But the reality is brutal. I'll admit that although they lost 3-2 to Real Madrid, they were a good game and almost took all three points from the Bernabeu. But the performance of that game has nothing to do with the performance of this game, and it is not a matter of taking for granted that the second group game was also good because the first group game was played well. And although Sampaoli denied it, it is obvious that Manchester City is a little underweight when facing Milan, they may feel that Real Madrid is better than Milan, they can all play Real Madrid away from home so embarrassed, back to their home stadium, beat Milan must be no problem, right? But it's a pity that Mourinho's team has taught Sampaoli a good lesson, the Champions League and the Premier League are completely different games, and you can't feel that you are a strong team in the Champions League just because you won the league title last season, in fact, in the Champions League, Manchester City still has a long way to go......
The Manchester media have been relentless in their criticism of Sampaoli and Manchester City, but it is normal that the media is usually more inclined towards Manchester United......
Having lost the league title in the last three games of last season and left United unhappy, now they have finally found a chance to vent their bad spirits - although we lost to them in the league, the Champions League will teach you how to behave!
